To ill whom it may concern:

Be it known thatJ 1,' HENRY M. SrLviiinA, e

citizen of the United States, residing at Cambridge, in the county ofMiddlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented newend, usefullniprovements in Cuspidors, of

which the following is a specification.

The invention'relates to cuspidors, and has for en object toprovidezicuspidor of e simple and dsrable construction, presenting e. -iieat4and effective appearance and which will be of a sanitary and cleannature.

The invention contemplates, among other features, the provision orn acnspidoi: in

which certain parts are preferably made of' paper or some otherdestructible material that can be cheaply manufactured', whereby, whenthe destructible parts have been in nee for some time, they can beremoved from the body of the cuspidor sind `replaced by new ones.

1n the further disclosure oiI the invention reference'isto be had to theaccompanying drawings, constituting a part of this specil ',cation, inwhich simiiar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in allthe views, and in which;

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the cus? idor Fi 2 is a verticalsectional view teken through the cuspidor; Fig. 3 is a' verticaltransverse sectional view taken on the line 3 3 in Fign; Fig. 4C is aperspective View of the member for the neck'; and Fig.

5 is a perspective view of the receptacle.

Referring kmore particularly' to the views,

' .l provide a' base 10 forming a circuler tray eli 11 with the seidbese carrying' at its medial portion and supporting a holder 12, in thenature of a' cup, and preferably of e substantially cylindricalconstruction, the base 10 and holder 12 being preferably formed ofstamped metal or the like. Formed with the holder 12 is a flared neck13, e suitable handle 14 being carried on the holder 12 and neck 13, esshown. f1 receptacle 15, preferobly mede oi paper, and having substenthesaine shape es the holder 12, is

e'g'ecting exteriorly of the holder end whereby the receptacle 15 can becomen-A iently removed from the holder. Supported on the neck 13 andcovering the inner thereof is a frusto'lconieol member 1'? pr erablymade of paper and having its lower portion extendin into the receptacle'l5 end provided wit a series of apertnres 18 formed around a' mainoutlet 19. The mem bei' 17 is also provided with opposed tabs 20 forpermitting the ready removal of the member 1'? from the neckn The tray11 formed by the-base 1t) is I adapted to receive cigar or cigarettestumps and matches, whereas the member 17 :ind receptacle 15 ere'edaptedto receive sputum. It will be apparent that the member 12' is in thenature' of a guide for giiiding'the sputum into'the receptacle 15, Whenthe receptacle 15 and member 17 become soiled they can be readilyremoved by lifting them from the holder 12 and neck 13 respectively, bymeans of the lrespective tabs 16 and 20 so that the contents of thereceptacle can be removed therewith and thrown aiwey end theV member 17lcan also be thrown: ewsy. Thus with a device of the class deecribedthere is provided a cuspidor which "will be of o clean, sanitary andlneet appearance and wherein the parts receiving the'spiitum or othermatter can be removed when soiled 'and for the purpose of being replacedby new parte es mentioned, thus providing a structure which will be .farmore eeriit. ry, than the old.` form of cnspidor end in which the partsreceiving' the sputum are niece or.

metal vand cannot be readily cleaned.

Havinga thus described my inveifitioii,

claim:

lnv a Quspidor, the combination with a base forming an annular tray` ofa vertical tubular holder carried by the base and pro jecting upwardlyfrom a medial. bulged pon tion thereof, a flared neck formed 'with theholder at its upper end and communicating with the tubular portionthereof, :i destructible receptacle of :i cup-like configurationsupported within the lsaid holder,'a destructible truste-conical .membersupported on the said flared neck and having its lower end perforatedend depending within the Said destluctble-eceptacle lying Within theholder, tabs oauied'by the said receptacle and ppjeotng exeylorly o" thesaid holder to lie between the wall of the Said neck and 'tlesadgfrusto-concal member, whereby sald talos 'Wlll-v ne protected rmuContact,
